Since Su Shi decided to live in this world with peace of mind, every morning when he gets up, he will exercise rain or shine.

However, this habit was broken early this morning.

He had drunk a lot of wine last night, because everyone at the table was toasting him, and he couldn't help but drink it.

Because the identity of everyone who drank with him seemed to be not low, in addition to Sun Chengyi, Li Han, and Xie Ning'an, Li Xianzhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, actually attended the banquet.

At the time of the toast, Su Shi learned that this Jinghu poetry meeting was held at the expense of Shangshu Mansion, and Li Zhonghong, the son of Li Shangshu, also participated in the poetry meeting.

Shangshu Mansion paid for it, Su Shi became famous, and even Su Shi himself felt a little embarrassed, so he had to drink desperately.

At this time, the poem about entering the wine also spread in the capital, and it became a poem that must be recited at every banquet, and every time a sentence is recited, everyone will have a drink with Su Shi, so after a banquet, Su Shi is already drunk and unconscious.

Although Su Shi was very drunk last night, he was still ready to wake up in the early morning.

There was still the smell of yesterday's wine in the house, and Su Shi opened the window, and the fresh air with grass and trees immediately poured into the house, diluting the smell of wine.

Su Shi took a few breaths hard, and his still confused brain finally became sober.

He moved his muscles and bones, and then began to prepare for exercise.

But then there was a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was not urgent, but it was hard.

Su Shi was a little strange, who would come to him early in the morning, and actually knock on the door to look for him.

If it was his eldest brother, he wouldn't knock on the door at all, he would just push the door in.

Although Su Shi protested many times, Su Zhou just said coldly: "You are not afraid to look at it when you are bare-assed, are you still afraid now?" ”

If it was a subordinate, he would not come to him at this time, and even if he wanted to look for him, he would only call softly at the door.

Su Shi was wondering when he suddenly heard Su Zhou's voice: "Are you up?" Wearable? ”

This made Su Shi feel a little abnormal, the eldest brother who never knocked on the door on weekdays actually learned to knock on the door today, and he was so polite.

It's just that Su Zhou's voice sounded a little tired, as if he hadn't rested well.

Su Shi had no choice but to reply: "It's already good." ”

Then he saw the door being pushed open, but it was not Su Zhou who walked in first, but Zhou Jin.

Su Shi thought that he had a hangover and hadn't woken up, so he couldn't help but rub his eyes when he looked at the door again, Zhou Jin was looking at him with a solemn face.

"Why are you here?"

Su Shi looked at Zhou Jin with a dull expression, and couldn't figure out why she appeared here.

And her expression looked bad, her face was tired, her eyes were red, as if she hadn't slept all night.

"Didn't disturb your rest, did you?" Zhou Jin said weakly.

Su Shi shook his head, looked at her, and said with a smile: "It seems that you need to rest more than me." ”

At this time, Su Zhou also walked in, and his situation was not much better than Zhou Jin.

Su Zhou smiled bitterly: "We didn't sleep all night. ”

"What happened?"

"Cui Peng is dead."

"Cui Peng is dead?" Su Shi was shocked: "When did he die?" ”

"Last night, it was a quarter of the hour."

"How did you die?"

"Fell into the river and died."

Su Shi frowned and asked, "Being pushed away from the river?" ”

"It was an accident." Zhou Jin finally sighed: "I checked with Brother Su all night last night, and finally came to the conclusion that Cui Peng's death was definitely an accident. ”

However, although Cui Peng's death was definitely an accident from any angle, they didn't want to admit it, because it was too coincidental.

In the morning, they decided to investigate Cui Peng, and in the evening, Cui Peng actually died, how could they not be suspicious of such a coincidence.

Su Shi didn't speak, let them sit down first, and then asked Lin Mo to make a pot of hot tea.

After they drank a cup of hot tea and their spirits recovered a little, Su Shi said slowly: "Now you can tell me, what happened?" ”

Zhou Jin told Su Shi in detail what happened last night, and after Su Shi listened, his eyes closed slightly and he was silent for a long time.

"Did you find Cui Peng's body?" Su Shi finally asked.

Zhou Jin said: "It has been found, and after inspection, it is indeed drowned." ”

"How many people did you send to follow Cui Peng?"

"Three, and the statements of the three people are all consistent, and there is no contradiction."

"Cui Peng was originally a secret agent of the royal family, will these three people be discovered by him."

Su Zhou said categorically: "Impossible. ”

"Why?"

"Because these three people are all scouts in the army, and they are extremely experienced, even if Cui Peng used to be a secret agent, it is impossible to find them."

Su Shi asked again: "Didn't you find anything suspicious in the whole process?" ”

Zhou Jin shook his head, because nothing special happened during the period from Cui Peng's exit to his drowning.

Su Shi thought for a moment and asked, "Why did a team of dart carts suddenly appear on the bridge?" ”

Su Zhou said: "The team of dart trucks set off from Qinglong Mansion five days ago, and the delivery party of a batch of silk was Duan Ji from Pingning Fang. I checked the tickets and accounts of the dart car, and there was no doubt about it. ”

Su Shi asked again: "Why did the wheels of that carriage suddenly break?" ”

"The wheels and bearings of the carriage were severely worn, and the horse was so frightened by the sudden wild dogs that it jumped around, causing the carriage to keep shaking, so it broke off and fell off, causing the carriage to roll over, causing Cui Peng to fall into the water."

Su Shi frowned and said, "A wild dog is just scurrying, how could that horse suffer such a huge fright?" ”

Su Zhou couldn't cry or laugh at this time, he smiled bitterly: "Because that horse was bitten by a wild dog a month ago, and it just recovered two days ago, so this time the wild dog suddenly jumped out, and the horse's reaction will be so big." ”

The surging river, hungry wild dogs, old friends who met by chance, sudden dart carts, dilapidated carriages, horses that have been bitten by wild dogs, so many coincidences come together, and Cui Peng will fall into the water and drown.

As long as one less thing happens during this period, Cui Peng will not fall into the river and drown.

If the river does not rise, Cui Peng will be rescued soon even if he falls into the river. If he hadn't met an old friend, Cui Peng wouldn't have been so drunk, even if the carriage rolled over, with his skills, he wouldn't have fallen into the river. If there was no sudden dart cart, even if the carriage overturned, Cui Peng would only fall to the ground.

Of course, without the wild dog, Cui Peng had already returned home safely.

And it is absolutely impossible for anyone to control these things, so Zhou Jin and Su Zhou investigated for a night, although they were unwilling and reluctant, they finally decided that Cui Peng died in an accident.

Su Shi finally came to his conclusion.

"Cui Peng did die in an accident."
